X-rays came back negative on Matt Forte's toe injury.

It doesn't mean he's out of the woods, but it does sound like a day-to-day injury. Forte never returned to Sunday's win over the Dolphins after rushing eight times for 25 yards. We'll have another update on him by Wednesday. Sep 25 - 3:55 PM

Matt Forte rushed eight times for 25 yards against the Dolphins in Week 3.

He did not return to this game due to a toe injury in the second half. Forte was on the sidelines and seemed to be in good spirits, so perhaps he would've returned had the game been closer. When asked about the three-back committee this week, Forte mentioned it could help him stay fresh this season. Regardless, he'll be a very unreliable player to start in fantasy in this committee approach. Sep 24 - 4:55 PM

Matt Forte (toe) is questionable to return to Week 3 against the Dolphins.

The Jets are running away with this game, so chances are Forte won't be back out there. Forte checked out with eight rushes for 25 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game. The Jets stuck to their plan with a three-back committee with Bilal Powell getting some of the goal-line work. Fantasy owners will have a tough time trusting Forte most weeks. Sep 24 - 3:15 PM

Matt Forte rushed nine times for 53 yards against the Raiders in Week 2.

He added four catches and 38 receiving yards. Forte was one of the bright spots for the Jets, but it really doesn't matter in this offense. He out-snapped Bilal Powell 28-17, which was a bigger difference than the 35-30 lead in Week 1 -- the Jets being blown out could've been a factor. Forte can't be trusted in fantasy right now and may need to be on another team to have value. Sep 17 - 8:13 PM

It doesn't mean he's out of the woods, but it does sound like a day-to-day injury. Forte never returned to Sunday's win over the Dolphins after rushing eight times for 25 yards. We'll have another update on him by Wednesday.

Robby Anderson caught 3-of-6 targets for 95 yards and one touchdown against the Dolphins in Week 3.

He caught a very nice 69-yard touchdown on a deep ball from Josh McCown. Last week, Anderson was only targeted four times for his two catches and 28 yards against the Raiders, so this game was unexpected. The Temple product had been underwhelming since the beginning of the preseason and isn't really worth adding in most leagues.

Jets OT Ben Ijalana (knee) said he'll be "a little limited" early on in camp.

Ijalana is now seven weeks removed from a knee scope. In a surprise development, Ijalana said the plan is for him to compete with Kelvin Beachum at left tackle this summer. That leaves Brent Qvale and Brandon Shell to battle it out for the starting job at right tackle. It would be a stunner if Beachum, who is due $12 million in guaranteed money, lost out to Ijalana on the blind side.
